Abstract
The theory of plane plastic strain due to Hencky and Geiringer is applied to calculating the minimum dimensions that a specimen should have for a valid hardness test. Critical widths and thicknesses are determined for rectangular specimens indented by flat dies and wedges of any angle. The manner in which the specimen deforms during the indentation is considered in detail.Keywords
